Beauty and the Beast...

I just read George R.R. Martin's blog where he talks about Beauty and the Beast, and what a joy it was to work for the show, and how they're making a new version.

This makes me want to see the original show. Should I watch it? I think I saw an episode or two back when it was originally on... maybe... It was on in a period when I was watching almost no television. I have a mental image of the characters, much overshadowed by Linda Hamilton as Sarah O'Connor.

I imagine it's available on DVD now?

Beauty and the Beast was the first time I heard of George R.R. Martin - well, I knew him vaguely as a science fiction writer, and had liked a few of his stories, but then heard quite a bit of him in connection with Beauty and the Beast, which some of my friends loved. I liked what I saw of it - not much - and I liked the romanticism of it, the fact that it used poetry. I'd still like that.

I hope the new show is good, too. I'm not sure whether I should watch the old show first, or wait till after I've seen the new.
